Activities

We know organising a children's birthday party is an important event and can be a tough challenge. Vector Wero has the perfect solution for you! Get it started on this recreational ride on the Grade 1-2 Tamariki River. Your rafting guide will help you go through the gentle dips and eddies of this 200m water course --- and you'll master the course in no time.

Requirement: Children aged five, six and seven need to have a parent, caregiver or responsible adult on the water with them at all time.  Required ratio is one ( 1 ) parent per two ( 2 ) kids aged five to seven ( 5-7 ). If all participants are eight (8) years or older, they are able to raft on their own. Click here for more information.

The Birthday Party Package (2 hours) is perfect if you want to book a birthday party with catering included in your package (rafting only). 

The Birthday Party Combo (3 hours) is perfect if you want all the above PLUS kayaking and paddleboarding after your rafting trip!

Both packages include up to seven (7) rafters and can include adults (e.g. 6 children & 1 adult):

• Tamariki River Rafting (Grade 1 & 2) 
• Four pizzas per raft
• Soft drink/juice/water for seven (7) guests (per raft)

Select from our all-time favourites: Double Cheese, Meat Lovers, Pepperoni and Hawaiian. Vegan and/or gluten free pizzas available upon request. Please note that extra children added to your order does not alter catering. Extra catering must be ordered separately - Contact reception via email or phone to enquire for extra food and drinks. If you want to make a booking within the next 7 days, please ring reception at (09) 9135251.
